SO.... to answer the OP, yes, i do believe it is legal. however, doing so may have unintended consequences. and people talk. as for our situation, like i stated above, all of us in the respiratory department know exactly where it stands and nearly all of us are looking for something else, actively.

If you are in the nursing profession, my respect and admiration for you just went up immeasurably. Thank you for your service.
